Aug 30 2026: SF=111, A=17, K=3
Since there doesn't seem to have been much 6m DX from over the Atlantic in recent weeks, I've turned the beam from its' usual westerly heading towards the East - it'll be interesting to see if anything comes in from that direction. Probably need to be looking south really, but we'll see what happens.
HF seems fairly poor again this morning (A and K quite high), so I'm guessing it's going to be a SOTA day!
Some interesting propagation around 1150z on 2m FT8; two decodes from EA7KNR (IM77). Probably an MS burst although maybe it could have been a brief bit of Es, especially as I saw two decodes. Nothing on 6m at the time, which makes me think it wasn't Es. I was the only station outside Spain to hear him, so propagation must have been quite selective, which perhaps points more to Es. I have no idea! But, good to see - whatever it was!
